Doug Losing Weight

Infection is coming back in my sinuses and lungs. So I dropped by to see my favorite doctor today.

She’s convinced it’s a bacterial infection, and she got out the big guns. Gave me a prescription for this big dog antibiotic (insert Doug/big dog joke here). The antibiotic is expensive and powerful. Should do the trick.
One small caveat. It may make my tendon’s burst.
Excuse me?
In some people it weakens the tendons to the point that putting stress on them causes them to burst.
Which tendon?
Oh, it’s different every time.
I laugh out loud at the absurdity of the conversation we’re having. I ask “so I could be riding along on my stationary bike and just, what, have a blow out?”.
“Yeah, pretty much. Oh, you’re benched from working out for the duration of this medication”.
Now I’m not laughing any more.

I’m telling you, if it’s not one thing it’s another. So I have ten days to take the medication, hopefully get better, and not work out.

Advance token to Go. Start the game again. Guess I’ll use this time to focus on what goes into my mouth…
